commentary by DSH contributing writer Mike Hayden:
One last thought on Nick Saban's "rule bomb:" To the SEC in general and to St. Nick in particular. The pathetic attempt to change all of college football to fit your antediluvian ideas (under the pretense of safety), isn’t worth commenting on, but I’m going to anyway.
The flood is coming and the times they are a’chang’in. While you good ol’ boys are sipping mint juleps’ in the shade of a Giant Magnolia tree, you might want to round up all the big-uglies you’ve got stockpiled down yonder in your feed lot, align them in something resembling a chorus line, add a dash of the Grateful Dead, sprinkle in some Richard Simmons and require them do a little sweating to the oldies. Your big-uglies are a far bigger threat to safety then warp six football. If you are genuinely concerned about their safety (as you’ve made it abundantly clear, you don’t care about ours), whip them into shape. It’s a win/win situation.
If they are in good shape, they will be able to withstand Gatling Gun football, but more importantly, if they are in good shape they will be far less apt to tip over and fall on one of our guys. And that’s all I got to say about that.
Of note; I just returned from a trip to the Oregon State (high School) Wrestling Tournament, where my grandson Cole battled his way to the Championship in the 106 lb. division (4A). I will be doing the backstroke in that particular bowl of figgy pudding for quite some time now. –Middle School Mike
